Landscape > vertical videos

r/

I know vertical video is everywhere because of TikTok, Reels, and all that, but landscape just looks better. Our eyes are horizontal. TVs, monitors, movies, all landscape for a reason. It shows more, feels more natural, and looks more polished.

Vertical feels like a shortcut. Like, you didn’t bother to turn your phone. I get why people use it, but we need to stop pretending it’s actually better. It’s just convenient.

    This is so obviously not an unpopular opinion. I don’t think anybody is pretending it’s better, it’s just an engagement trap for lazy people on their phones

    Always landscape.

    Your TV isn’t vertical.

    The currency in your wallet isnt vertical

    I don’t think anyone actually thinks
    Vertical is better… it’s the ease and you even said it a short cut..

    This is literally something I learned during a course about photography. This is not an unpopular opinion.

    Landscape is obviously superior to vertical.

    And i doubt its an unpopular opinion to think landscape is better than vertical.

    This is probably only unpopular to people under the age of 25 or so
